Variable: A variable is a named storage location for data that can be changed during program execution. Data Types: Data types refer to the type of data that can be stored in a variable. Common data types in Java include int, float, double, char, and boolean. Primitive Types: These are the basic data types that are built into the Java language. Examples of primitive data types include int, float, double, char, and boolean.

Java has 8 primitive data types: byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, and boolean. The naming conventions for variables in Java are that they should start with a lowercase letter and use the camelCase style for compound words. Java can be used to create programs that can run on any operating system, such as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
